This set of functions is designed to fit a SEIR epidemic model to data and simulate the course of the epidemic. It includes the possibility of time-dependent transmission and mortality rates. For a full description of the model see: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.12.20129429v1
Originally, the functions were designed for the covid-19 pandemic of 2020 in a per country basis. However, nothing prevents them to work with other data. The model assumes permanent immunity after recovery. There is no age or spatial structure.
It includes a help in PDF.
